All areas of our village celebrated Melbourne cup with a happy hour. The fun kicked off with pre-race drinks and nibbles which included beautiful meringues with cream and strawberries and a variety of other tasty morsels.

Oh what a night we had at our Charity Masquerade ball. The village was dressed with a gold and black balloon archway for the entrance, there was mood lighting everywhere and we had special guests Prince William and his wife Kathryn in attendance.

We go ten pin bowling once a month at the local bowling alley where we watch with amazement when the pins don’t go down, and share a joke afterwards talking about our scores and who has had a good day with the pins.
